I had a college professor from Alabama and he was telling me once "Summers are hell in Alabama, so when I moved to Iowa I thought it would be great, but your summers are hell too, except now the winters are god-awful as well."

I'd still take our winters over our summers.  You can always put on more clothes if you're cold, but eventually you reach a point that you can't legally take any more off if you get too hot.

Oh yeah, I'm with you Aaron. I HATE summers. Yet another reason I need to get out of here; it's year round summer and my seasonal depression is getting out of hand. :(

As for the temp, because of the baby, I keep it at around 70f. When it was just Ric and I, it was 65f. :)

Remember the weather here in January? I consider that way too cold :lol:

Your so messed up. :P

I thought it was a bit warm. Or at lest, that it should have been colder. Being Canada and all...


Our AC shit the bed... It isn't doing anything but blowing air. Not chilling it at all. I need to get a repair slip and get that shit fixed.

In the mean time I'm eating snow cones to keep cool. They are amazing! Best 20 bucks I have spent in a long time. Well 20 plus all the syrup... and ice, its so much easier to buy a big bag then make my own...

Before I moved out here, summer meant 100F days, every day for 2 or 3 months. Out here, "summer" means "3-5 random days that'll hit 80", but otherwise its a static 65F during the day and 59F at night. It's awesome.

In other news, our new snake totally bit my finger. It didn't hurt but I was really fucking surprised; it's easy to forget how fast and how strong those fuckers are. She snapped and let go real fast, but it drew some blood. Now it looks like a bunch of weird surface-scratches on my finger. It's weird. Snakes are weird.

I found a juvenile bull snake (about 18 inches long) in our garage the other day.  It freaked me out at first because the pattern on it is similar to a prairie rattlesnake and it was all S-coiled up in the same defensive position as a rattler uses.  I caught it and let it go outside.

Personally I like the idea of having a non-venomous snake in the garage eating any mice that get in, but dealing with screaming wife every time she sees it could get overwhelming.  8-p

The only bad thing about going in early on the start of my week. going to bed early. (I have NEVER been a morning person.) However, 3 days off is amazing. Then I work 4 days, get 5 days off. OH FUCK YA!


Also I love snow cones.

I had one of those removed from my left wrist a long time ago.  Thankfully it never came back.

I just spent 50 bucks. On what? A 7x7 Vcube (its a rubik's cube, different band name is all.) Ugh... I'm not sure why, but I kinda feel ashamed of it...

Well babe, it's your money and you're entitled to be extravagant if you want; but maybe it just shows you're getting old, boring, and responsible.  :lol:

Huh. Well ya. And I have more then enough to pay all my bills and keep food on my plate. So its not like I don't have the cash... Ugh. I don't know I still feel odd that I like Rubik's cube this much... But I'm cool with being boring, I already bore my self to sleep (I'm sure to death sooner then later.) Old however is pushing it don't you think?:P  But ya... I guess I am... Ugh.

LOL, well the last part of it was meant in jest.  You're nowhere near old.  Me, on the other hand, I'm trying to embrace my cronedom; I don't know if it's working (yet).
